FOUR thousand people attended the
funeral of a prize fighter in Now York
Sunday ; bat if it had boon a man
whoso life was spent in dcoda of char

you want a grand funeral.
A Now York correspondent says
that school mirms never marry.
Secretary Oonnoyor taken exception
to this rcmirk and complains that
Omaha schoolnurms are dead on the
marry , and that the beat are con
stantly resigning their posts to give
employment to the parsons. Last year
the board of education lost five teach

THE new telegraph regulation law
require ! all telegraph companies and

goods to all retailers alike and requite

all customers al'ko. ' The matter
of ownership of property will occupy

If press dlapatcaoa that aggregate 7COO

RAISE THE ASSESSMENT.
A year ago THE BKK opened the
war upon the Iniquitous evasion of
taxation by wealthy property ownora
In the city Wo published fignroa
from thn recorda in the county clerk'a
oflico to show that real estalo was
aeiceard all the way from one-third to
ono twentieth of Its matket value.
Wo called upon the aatesaora to make
a show of a fair assessment and di
rected their attention to particular
instances where the moat glaring dls-
creplancea existed between property of
onqtl value. At considerable cxponeo
ox-County Clark John 11. Manchester
WAS hired to compare the market
value of real oatato In the business
coutor of Omaha with the assessment
list and the namca of taxpayers whoao
property waa undervalued were pub
lished without fear or favor.
THE BEE then merely scratched the
surface cf the grouud. It proposes to
go deeper. Ton years ago , when
Omaha had a population of lens than
20,000 , her property valnUion waa
over § 10OCO,000 , L st year it waa
placed by the local assessors at ? ? >
200,000. A comparison of the assess
ment books with the records of real
catato trantfors shows that at least
one-third of the property in thla city
IB assessed for purposes of taxation at
from one-aovonth to ono-tblrtieth tf
Its market value. Largo tracts of land
laid out Into city additions where lota
are selling at from 8300 to glOCO each
escape taxation on an atsossment of
from $25 to $30 a lot. In other In
stances each property la lumped and
aosesscd at from $50 to $100 an acre.
When business or residence prop
erty attains a market value
of $5,000 or upwards it ia
for the moat p'art Hated at an average
of one-tenth of its actual value , while
the omsll cottages of our clerks , la
borers and mechanics pay on a v'na '
tlon of 33 per cent. Such a nnthod
of assessment ia no lean Buicldal to the
city than it is unjust to individual
owners of property.
Every real estate dealer in Onnha
knowa that the present market value
of real oatato in thla city is fully forty
millions. Since 1870 there has boon
an average advance of over 50 per
cent in the vnlno of badness property.
In all the additions the increase has
boon still moro marked , running from
GO to.200 par cent above the prices
demanded for real oatato four yoara
ago. In the lace of the to
facts , which are known to
every ono who takds the trouble to
watch the real eatato transfers , our
aaaeaaors who are paid for their sup
posed knowledge of property valua
tion have kept on copying the aiscaa
ment rolla of the previous year for the
last five years , with the moat trifling
changes.
It la high time that a halt should bo
called. A radical reform in the pro
cess of taking the assessment is not
only needed but demanded by our
cltlzsns. Omaha la being Injured in
the eyes of ouUido capitalists by thla
aorry showing of her real estate assess
ment. Our tax levy which could bo
reduced to two per cent by a fair
equalization of taxes , is now quoted at
five per cent ; and our bonded debt ,
which la smaller per capita than that
of any city of our alzi in the
country , la made to appear
out of all proportion with
our property valuation. Capital
vrhiob. with a fair showing to the real
prosperous condition of our city would
bo attracted ia repelled , and the statis
tics of Omaha'a growth are compared
to her disadvantages , with those of a
score of smaller and leas wealthy com
muultles.
But entirely aalda from considera
tion affecting the financial standing of
thla city the gross injiatico of our law
valuation makes Itself felt in clogging
the wheels of public improvement and
ihooklng thn material growth of Oma
ha in all the elements which go to
make up a metropolis. Every demand
for improvement bonds la met by a
growl that the statutory limit of ton
per cent on our nisossed valuation baa
almost been reached. The demand
for paving and sewering for. gut
tering and grading awakens a
howl about , the heaviness ol
our tax levy while the
men who are escaping taxation use
the bugbear of high taxes to frighten
the very citizens who are already bear
ing moro than their share of the mu
nicipal burdens.
The remedy must bo applied and
applied at once , The assessment ol
property In Omaha ought to bo raised
by readjusting property values on an
impartial basis , and Hating all prop
erty that has heretofore been assostod
a4 a nominal valno at the lowest pot-
alblo estimate , an equalization of as-
aetarnont onthobtsisof one-third the
matket value would give Omaha an
aggregate valuation of $13 009,000.
The tex'xjof the small property owner *
would bo materially decreased , but
the tax shirkers would bo made tc
contribute their full share of the ex.
peuse of maintaining this city. Wltb
such a valuation Omaha could at once
enter upon a system of public im <
provomouta that would place her when
she onttht to boas the growing motrop
oils of the Mlstonrl valley.
COLORADO la trying to raise anothoi
Leadvllle boom. L'ko ' the old Lead
villa , the new camp li In Coloradi
and boars the name of Jlmtown , whlol
Is supposed to be a corruption o
Jamestown , It la said to have Inez-
hanatlblo boda of carbonate ore , which
la much richer than the Loadvlllo
mineral. The now camp ia not well
described , but It la said to bo located
northwest of Denver , only a short
distance , and nearly on the line of
railway. The marvellous reports from
there , however , are to bo taken with
a grain of allowance , or to bo uioro ex
plicit , several tons of allowance.
THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.
The amended school law recently
enacted by the legislation has enlarged
the board of education of thla city
irom eix to nine members. Throa
members of the present board , Meeara ,
Points , Long and Connoyor hold over
until 1884 , and ulx now members arc
to bo elected at largo at the coming
city election ,
THK BEE urges upin our citlzjus to
exercise the greatest care in choosing
the now members of the board , Ei-
tlroly asldo from quoa ijna aifoaticfr
the standard of education In our pub
Ho ( schools the board of oJuoitioti is
chargid with grave financial roeponnl-
bllitie-a. Over $100,000 a year is dla
buraed by thla body. For the careful
and proper expenditure of this sum
none but the boat men ought to bo
selected. During the present year
the board will bo engaged In extend
ing our aoh ul facilitioa , Tire now
aohool honaoa will bo erected this sum
mer and steps will bo taken to secure
land west of the high school prelimin
ary to the erection of another primary
school at an early day. The surplus
money already on hand amounts to
nearly $50C09.
It makea little difference whether
the now members of the board are
democrats or republicans , but it makes
every diflarenco whether they are
fitted for the duties which they will
bo called upon to fill. With this end
in view , two year3 ago THK BEE urged
and nomina-
supported non-partisan -
tiono , and it otill buliovcn that noml-
uationo regardless of party would do
much to Increase the cfTuloncy of
the board. E/ory Interest ot our tax
payers and citizens demands that the
school board ahall be composed of
cool headed , Intelligent and reputable
men who take pride in our education
al system. Our public schools are
steadily improvlug. The standard of
studies baa been raised , methods of
Instruction improved and the calibre
} f the teaohors bettered Bat it ia
precisely at ita present stage that the
nest care should be taken to maintain
ihoeflislonoy already attained. While
nucb of the supervision of
) ur schools must devolve upon the
inporlntondont , the board of educa
tion ia either an aid or a check * o the
larrylng out of every reform , As the
loldors of the school purse , the hirers
} f the teachers , the judges of the
lecosalty of increased accommoda
tions , they exorcise a powerful In-
luonco over the school system. It is
it the highest importance that they
should bo chosen with great care.
Tun army but * a nuuiiy auiuuded
das baen published. The most Im
portant of the legislative rldera ia that
which opona the retired Hat for dis
ability by virtually creating a separate
list for offisera retired under the com
pulsory retirement noof * last cummer.
Provision ia made for the reduction of
the pay corps by the stipulation that
hereafter all vacancies in the grades
of lieutenant colonel and major shall
not bo filled by original appointment
until the corps ia reduced to forty.
Thla will chock pomotiona in the pay
department for several years to come.
A change mndo in the bill by the
conference committee throws open the
quartermaster and commissary de
partments to civilians , by providing
that hereafter vacancies occurring In
thosfl departments "may , In the dis
cretion of thu president , be filled from
civil life. " From the wording of the
clanso it would appear that any
vacancies in any grade oamo under
thla proviso , thereby permitting the
president to appoint civilians to thu
grade of major , lieutenant-colonel ,
colonel , and oven brlgadior-goueral ,
over the heads of cflhcrs now serving
In lower gradoa , If ho so sots fit. It is
hardly possible that this was the In
tention of the f ramors of the amend
ment. The opening of the staff to
civilians is In itself of questionable
propriety , Such positions ought to bo
reserved for deserving lieutenants and
captains of the lino. To jump a score
or so of officers who have worked
their way up in these departments
would ba a gross injustice for which
there would not bo the shadow of an
uxoaao.
A redaction of $0,000 is made in
the item for piy of civilian clerks In
the subsistence department , which
will probably result in decreasing
the pay of the higher grade of
clerks.
Apart from those changes the army
bill haa few Items of general interest.

BURROWS' BRIEF.

Position.
A few days after the election cf the
United States senator , Secretary Bar
rows , of the Nebraska Farmers' Al-
llanco , communicated his views on the
political outlook to a lending nntl-
monopoliat in Otoo county , Hla letter -
tor h a just boon made public in The

dnpasalonatu review of the outcome
of ho late senatorial atrugglo , will bo

My Djar Sir : Your letter of the
12ih In at hind. Yon are right in
thinking that I am hoping for some
financial hid from your county. The
drain upon our treasury has been so
great of late that I have bocncompoll-
to advauco fan da to the amount cf
nbout fifty dollars from my own
pocket and yon know my packet IB
not very well lined , Bat 1 have no
donbt these things will all ooino right
in the end , aa they always have here
tofore. At any rate It gives mo great
ploaaura to receive cheetlng words
and to know that my friends are re
membering mo in this work.
An to the senatorial contest , our
only victory consisted in what we pre
vented , not what wo achieved. There
is no doubt that , if it had not boon
for the anti-monopoly sentiment which
the alliance has developed , Mr. Millard -
lard would have been elected. The
U. f. had a q'liot , but very able and
determined lobby at work for him ,
and had ho succeeded ho would have
ben the devoted henchman and ser
vant of the corporations , The elec
tion of Mr. Mandcroon was purely
a republican victory , and certainly a
very creditable victory for that party.
But it waa made poaslblo by the antimonopoly -
monopoly sentiment which had bpen
developed In that party , which , while
it would not consent to the election of
an anti-monopolist purely who had
definitely loft the ranks oE the repub
lican parly would have opposed to
thu bitter end the election of an ultra
railroad candidate like Mr. Millard
Probably Mr , Manderaou was the
ablest and moat acceptable in all re-
upects of all the republican candidates.
I think ho ewes nothing to railroad in
fluence , and ho ia certainly entirely
free from any indebtedness to the
autl-monopoliats. He made them no
pledges and received frum them no
favors. He owes his election to the
fact that there were twelve or fifteen
republicans in the legislature who were
so atrong anti-monopolists that they
could not bo dragooned into voting in
caucus fur a railroad candidate , and
the party waa obliged to select ita
least objectionable man , or submit to
defeat. He haa every incentive to do
just the right thing He is free from
entangling alliances ; he is young , able
and ambitions ; and there is no good
reason why , if ho makes a clean
record and puts himself on the side cf
the people on the vital Issues of the
day , that he should not be his own
successor. Bat , in his speech to the
legislature ho particularly emphasized
the fact that ha was elcctol "as a re
publican , " The staunchness and
and purity cf hia republicanism waa
his particular pride and boast. And
herein lies the danger to the interests
of the anti-monopolists.
The nomination cf Stanley Math-
OWB , a railroad attorney , to a seat on
the supreme bsnch , was a republican
nomination , and was confirmed by a
strict party vote. The great corpora
tions operate through the strongest
party , and the man'who goes to the
United States senate as a strict party
man , will be very apt to be their tool
when the emergency arrives , no mat
ter how pure and patriotic ho may be ,
o paclally if he considers , aa Mr.
Mandereoh seemed to , that the high
est patriotism consisted in devotion to
the republican party.
The supreme court and the United
States senate are the koj s to the monopoly -
poly position. So 16ng aa the mono
polists can entronca themselves there ,
they can defy the paople. The Dart
mouth College decision originally
merely the affirmance of the sanctity
of a contract , but gradually expanded
ia its aiguificanco until it la made the
ground work of the chlm that all
rights and privilege's ' deduclble from
any kind of charter have also
the sanctity of a contract , and
that once granted by the people they
assume the character of vested rights
nnd can never be reaumod by them ,
followed by a contistant line of jndl
cial decMonti , come to be the founda
tion npuii which a gigantic tyranny
over the American people is being
bulldod. Relief- from this tyranny
can only bo found in a judicial inde-
pondonca which will break away from
vicious precedents and go back to
sound principles of right and justice.
But continue in the hands of the
monopolists the power to mould the
supreme court to their liking , through
the United States senate , and relief in
this direction will be long delayed.
Hoping yon mny succeed in keep
Ing life and energy In our organization
In Otoo county , I remain ,
Yours Sincerely ,
J. Buunows ,
